Inorganic Reactivity

Inorganic reactions in the soil interstitial waters also influence dissolved P concentrations. These reactions include the dissolution or precipitation of P-containing minerals or the adsorption and desorption of P onto and from mineral surfaces. As discussed above, the inorganic reactivity of phosphate is strongly dependent on pH. In alkaline systems, apatite solubility should limit groundwater phosphate whereas in acidic soils, aluminum phosphates should dominate. Adsorption of phosphate onto mineral surfaces, such as iron or aluminum oxyhydroxides and clays, is favored by low solution pH and may influence soil interstitial water concentrations. Phosphorus will be exchanged between organic materials, soil inter-...

Silicon is in the same family of elements as carbon in the periodic table, but silicon compounds exhibit significant differences in chemical reactivity compared to analogous carbon compounds. Similarly to carbon, silicon will conveniently bond to four substituents in its most stable state. However, silicon is more electropositive than carbon, does not form stable double bonds, and is capable of very special and useful chemical reactions that enhance its effectiveness as an adhesion promoter component. A silicon molecule that has dual reactivity can be synthesized that is, both organic and inorganic reactivities can be synthesized into a single molecule. The unique nature of silane chemistry, to have both inorganic and organic reactivities in one molecular... 

Silane-coupling agents, with their inorganic reactive groups on silicon, bond well to most inorganic substrates, especially when the substrate... 

Adhesion promoter chemistries, other than those of silanes, have been extensively evaluated for many years. These materials use the same concepts as silane-coupling agents, but they are based on other metallic elements. They have inorganic reactivity on the metallic atom and contain organofunctional groups, such as methacrylate, carboxylate, and others, with dual- or multi-functionality built into the...
